Kumaragupta was the son of Chandragupta II and Dhruvavasmini, and he succeeded his father as emperor of the Gupta Empire in 415. During his reign, he continued his father's legacy of conquering additional lands for the empire, extending the empire from Bengal to Kathiawar in Sindh and from the Himalayas in the north to the Narmada River of Gujarat. During his reign, the tribal Pushyamitras of central India rebelled against his rule, and he also had to fight against the invading White Huns. He died in 455, and his successor Skandagupta would deal with both problems.
